Question

Oculus TrayTool - SuperSampling profiles, HMD disconnect fixes (hopefully)

Oculus Tray Tool  
current version: 0.87.3

What is it?
In short; It’s a free application that helps you get the most out of your Rift. It is developed by me, ApollyonVR, with the support of the community for beta testing. Please note that this application is not an official piece software from Oculus, I am not affiliated with Oculus in any way. Any issues you
have with this application should be reported to me and not Oculus support. You can reach me here on the forums or by contacting me at *REDACTED*

Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) has many features that will hopefully help you get the very best VR experience. It has options that help you automatically switch audio and microphone to the Rift and back, handle the Oculus runtime service, voice commands, batch import Steam games (added to OTT by the awesome headkaze over at http://headsoft.com.au), replace icons for your games and more.

It’s primary feature however, is the ability to create “Profiles” for you VR Games and apps.
Within these Profiles, you set how Asyncronous SpaceWarp (ASW) should act, increase the perceived resolution by using Supersampling and increase the CPU Priority of a given app to get the most juice out of your system for that specific application.
Once a Profile has been created for a game or app, OTT will detect when it is started and apply the
profile for it, without the need for taking your headset of.

If you want to have a peek at all the things OTT can do for you before installing the application, check the User Guide pdf. The latest version of this application will always be right below this intro, but the app also checks for available updates on startup.

Enjoy, have fun and please report any issues, suggestion or feature requests to me using the above mentioned methods. Oh, and feel free to buy me a coffee by using the PayPal button in-app. 🙂
 
The very nice people over at Guru3d.com have been kind enough to host some mirrors for the setups, so make sure to pay them a visit!

UPDATE 03/08

Hi all!
It's been a while since i released a new version, but now the time has come! 😃
I'm looking for ppl who want to test the new version before public release.
There are primarily changes for the Quest but anyone is welcome to test it.
Just drop an email to *REDACTED* and i'll get you a download link
and some instructions. Also include what type of headset (Rift or Quest)
that you are using.

 

Also, i now have a proper domain for the website, so swing by www.ApollyonVR.com
and check out the new Forum! If you have questions, comments or suggestions

that is the place to post them. 😃

 

Below are the release notes for the new version. Please note that this is a Beta version

for testing the new features. If you just want to use a stable version of OTT then head

over to www.apollyonvr.com and simply download the latest version.

 

Version 0.87.7
* Oculus Dash will now use the same CPU Priority as what you set for OVR Server.
* Added a "Comments" option to Profiles.
* Implemented Paolod29's code for a permanent AirLink (https://github.com/pd29/oculus-airlink-enabler).
* Added more choices to the Quest Link settings for "Bitrate" and "Encode Resolution".
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Encode Dynamic Bitrate" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added option for "Dynamic Bitrate Max" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added "FOV Multiplier" to Profiles. Setting this to a value lower than 1, for example 0.8,
will increase FPS due to less pixels being drawn at the expense of lower FOV.
* When creating a brand new Profile, the current settings from the Game Settings tab will be used.
This will make it even easier to create a new Profile! Simply experiment with different settings
on the Game Settings tab, and when you have found the perfect combo for a given game those
settings are copied over when you click "Create new Profile".

* Added option to Disable profiles.

* Redesigned the Profiles window a bit.
* Fixed some bugs.

 
Cheers!

Hi there again.
Just for your info Apollyon the OTT is working fine, when i close the tool and  terminates also the windows service.I don't know if it was the latest windows 10 update, but it's working properly now.
It remains though that when I start OTT, Oculus Home starting automatically and when i close it (the oculus home), it auto launching again.  

I'll be back if anything else change...

Hi @ApollyonVR, any idea why audio doesn't return to speakers after exiting OTT?

@sherpa25 the device id’s might have changed. Try unchecking ”use audio switcher”, check it again to get to the settings. Uncheck both boxes and select the blank value in the dropdown lists. Click ok, then check ”use audio switcher, again and selec your devices again. In the upcoming release i have made it so unchecking ”use audio switcher” clears all values.

I have Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally and Karnage Chronicles in my steam library.  When I launched them with Occulus Home open, all three games now appear in my Oculus library.  Dirt Rally icon was auto set in Oculus library.  I was able to set icon for Assetto Corsa using OTT, but strangely, the Karnage Chronicles does not appear in OTT.  Perhaps because it is early access game?  I am using the Oct 6 release of OTT.

Hi I have a few small issues with the tool that are a bit odd! I'm using the latest version and I have start with windows and start minimize selected but it doesn't start minimized, I have to do that manually when I log on.
The other thing is profiles aren't always applied, I've noticed this mainly on iracing and maybe its because I don't have oculus home opened? I have audio confirmation boxed ticked for the profile but 70% of the time I get nothing and it is obvious that the profile isn't applied because of the graphics but then sometimes it will work. I haven't noticed on other profiles yet.

Oculus Home needs to be running for profiles to get applied, at least that is the case for me.

First of all thanks for a brilliant piece of software . Ott has just stopped working I have it set to start minimized but it starts in its window with a spinning blue circle there I can click on some options but then I get Unhandled Exception error message. Also a small icon saying Oculus tool tray is starting up please wait appears above the task bar by the clock  If I try to minimize it it quits. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
